Description
Baseball is back! The unofficial second half of the Major League Baseball season kicks off tonight and Jays fans are amped to return. Guest hosts Ben Shulman and Julia Kreuz welcome their Jays Talk battery mate, Sportsnet’s own Sho Alli in-studio to get some of his overall thoughts on Toronto’s team this season so far and what he’s looking from them down the home stretch. Then, Ben and Julia tee up the Jays' first opponent after the All-Star break, the surprising Arizona Diamondbacks (37:15)! Jomboy Media’s Chris Rose kicks off hour two recapping his trip to Seattle for All-Star week, before getting into the second half storylines including why MLB needs high payroll teams like the Padres and Mets to succeed and what the Blue Jays (his A.L. World Series pick) need to be considered among baseball's best (52:18). We wrap up with some insight on the D-Backs from Arizona Republic beat writer Nick Piecoro, before Ben and Julia take some time to wrap up their week here on JTP (01:20:25)!
